Talk:Derrick Rossi

Research contents
Passages had been shifted from my original changes from 10 March 2021. The facts about his TIME appearances are with regard to his basic research and happened at the same time as the founding of Moderna - so maybe it should rather be in a more general place and not necessarily in connection with Moderna. Sentences got structured without taking proper sources along esp. with regard to all the company foundations, that is why I drew them together again bc. sources all relate to that paragraph as a whole. Wikipeda is an encyclopedia and not a quoting platform, quote was really too long and too specific - contents and esp. bios should be understandable for everyone and not only for people with specific scientific backgrounds.--Josephine1915 (talk) 14:21, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry poorly explained in revision history from my side, hopefully better above (sorry again). Of course his findings are the basis for Moderna but happened ahead and inspired other things as well--Josephine1915 (talk) 15:03, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
 * How about generating a new section "Achievements" or "Honors" - usually there would be something like "Awards" but all the TIME-Nominations are no awards, I found "Awards and honors" in other bios and there might be more for Dr. Rossi in the future, to me it is not really a "Career"-item, is it?--Josephine1915 (talk) 15:27, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Quote of scientific paper
These 2 quotes are about one paper that of course describes novelty and content of the method. Nobody without backgrounds in biology and/or medicine will understand any of that content that makes about 1/3 of the whole article (which is by the way about a person). Primary sources should only be used to a limited extent as with regard to WP rules (1/3 is quite a lot). The article was written by 16 persons in total, so it is not to be solely credited to Dr. Rossi. One should rather cite a source subsuming Dr. Rossis merits in easy language and link to that quote.--193.80.95.236 (talk) 13:57, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Should be "The paper was written by 16 persons...." and not "The article was written...." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.80.95.236 (talk) 14:03, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
